In 2014, De La Soul and Chuck D are the ones left to lead the people through hard times using the power of Hip Hop to their advantage. "The People" entertains while tapping into the essence of the culture as a well-needed voice of education and support especially for those in need. With their hearts heavy and eyes upon many of the unfortunate circumstances going on within society, De La and Chuck let their emotions breed positivity and encouragement through beats and rhymes for "The People".
